How was it poor taste? I'm not laughing at this tragic situation. What I'm saying is - every other day we see threads from people asking if incredibly tight travel times are possible, and my point is, rare delays like this DO happen. No one is getting angry at the authorities or the victims.

This is one of those times that can be cited when someone asks “can I make the 9am flight home from MIA after my cruise?” Thoughts with all affected.

Either way, I don’t think Allure is the biggest anymore. That goes to Wonder, which although the same class, is longer and higher tonnage. looking at the photos of Icon, she does look narrower than the Oasis class. But on paper, she isn’t. I think it’s all down to proportions. She’s longer, so looks less fat!

I know she is bigger than the Oasis class - but she doesn't look it. I guess it's just proportions. The Oasis class always seems wide compared to the length, but she looks a bit more even. Watching all this with excitement. We're booked for a cruise next April ! Can't wait.

The bit I don't get - all the staterooms marked with a star on this plan attached are 3 berths. My understanding is it means it's a smaller sofa bed. But, why would they limit themselves by only providing 3 berths here? Surely it's better to have 4 berths all the way, which can sleep 3, but also sleep 4 if 4 people wish to be in there. Is it just a booking quirk? Is it quite possible that all the state rooms are identical and all have the same size sofa bed?

Thanks for all your replies. On the specific sailing we were looking at in April 2024, every time we tried sole adult in room 2 it would show no balcony cabins available. Choose 2 adults and suddenly there were options. Eventually we managed to put my wife in a cabin with her mum and we got her a balcony - even managed to get connecting cabins! It does mean that we only have a 3 occupancy cabin rather than the ideal of 4, but we'll stick one of the kids in with her mum!

Hello Trying to book a cruise for our family (2 adults, 2 kids - 6 & 7) on Icon of the Seas. We'd like to take granny with us, separate room but with a balcony ideally and relatively close or connecting. So 3 adults in total - 2 kids. From what I gather, a single occupant cannot have a balcony room. I get this, revenues etc etc. The way I managed to work it out was to put 1 adult (i.e. me) with the 2 kids in one room and 2 adults (granny and my wife - her daughter) in a connecting room. This let us book two rooms next door to each other. Our sneaky idea would then be that my wife would come into our room at night time, leaving granny on her own. The question is - on the cabin map, the room for me and the kids has an 'up to 3 occupancy' on the symbols. But the rooms all look the same size. Does this plan work, or would I be expecting either a single bed for me or a smaller sofa bed? Are we going to have an unexpected surprise that could ruin the vacation? Thank you in advance, David
